ABD Batı Kıyısı'nda zıpkınla avcılık

Batı Kıyısı soğuk su, yosun ve California Akıntısı'dır: güney yosun ormanında white seabass ve yellowtail, kuzeyde kayada lingcod ve rockfish. Teknik ve güzel bir zıpkın avcılığıdır — ama ABD'nin en yoğun deniz koruma alanı ağıyla örülüdür, özellikle California'da. Bir SMR'yi bir SMCA'dan ayırmak harika bir günle ceza arasındaki farktır. Bu rehber bunu düzenler ve her şehrin tahminine bağlanır.

Kesişen Pasifik kuralları: dikenli ıstakoz YALNIZCA elle alınır (asla zıpkınla), ve birçok tür tamamen korunur — California'da dev (siyah) levrek ve garibaldi, Washington'da yelloweye rockfish (alıkoyma yok). Abalon California'da 2036'ya kadar kapalı. Ayrıca güçlü yükselme var: çok soğuk su (8–15 °C) ve kararsız görüş; günü verilerle seç.

Oregon, Washington ve güvenlik

Oregon 1 Oca 2026'dan itibaren okyanusta avlanmak ya da zıpkınlamak için yeni bir Ocean Endorsement ($9 yıllık, $4 günlük) ister — muafiyetlerle (yalnızca kabuklu, ya da yalnızca somon/steelhead). Eyalette 5 no-take deniz rezervi var (Cape Falcon, Cascade Head, Otter Rock, Cape Perpetua, Redfish Rocks). Washington halibut için izin ve Catch Record Card ister; Edmonds Underwater Park başlıca no-take'tir. Tüm Kuzeybatı soğuk su (8–14 °C) ve değişken görüştür: sakin havada, şamandıra ve bayrakla dal.

Frequently asked questions

Rules current as of 2026 — spearfishing law is STATE-by-state in the US. License, spearable species, powerhead rules and beach/pier buffers all vary; federal sanctuaries (Gray's Reef, FL Keys, Flower Garden Banks) ban spearfishing. Always confirm with the state agency and local ordinances before you go.

Bir California bölgesinin no-take olduğunu nasıl bilirim?

Türe bak. SMR = tam no-take, her zaman korunan. SMCA = değişir: birkaçı zıpkına izin verir (Dana Point, Abalone Cove), ama varsayılan olarak korunan say. spearo.app noktanın kapalı bölgelerini kırmızıyla, fail-closed işaretler: şüphede atış yapma.

Oregon'da Ocean Endorsement gerekir mi?

Evet, 1 Ocak 2026'dan itibaren okyanusta zıpkınlamak için Oregon balıkçılık izni ARTI yeni Ocean Endorsement gerekir ($9 yıllık / $4 günlük). Yalnızca kabuklu alıyorsan ya da yalnızca somon/steelhead avlıyorsan gerekmez. İzinle birlikte taşı.

Batı Kıyısı'nda somon zıpkınlayabilir miyim?

Hayır. Washington'da somon ve mersin balığı zıpkınla yasaktır (yalnızca olta), California'da somon ve alabalık zıpkın yasağı listesindedir. White seabass, yellowtail, halibut, lingcod ve rockfish'e odaklan, her zaman boy ve bag limitle.

Batı'nın en iyi hedefi hangisi?

Yosun ve white seabass'a yeni başlayanlar için, yaz–sonbaharda Güney California (San Diego, La Jolla, Catalina, Palos Verdes), SMR ağına saygı göstererek. Soğuk kayada lingcod ve rockfish için, Orta-Kuzey California, Oregon ve Washington boğazları. Günü her zaman rüzgâr ve görüş penceremizle seç.
